lyrics

(Verse 1)
It rained all spring till the crops were late and the river got so high
Then the summer sun wouldn't let it rain, I remember it was dry
Those were troubled days but they came and went like a hundred times before
Papa did his best to make ends meet but the hard times owned his soul

(Chorus)
Now I'm going back to Avery Ridge, I guess I know the way
It helps to know there's still a path that leads to yesterday
And even though it's fifteen years since I've been on my own
That old house on the dusty road has always been my home

(Verse 2)
We were country raised in a city world but to-day we hardly know
Bout a way of life that used to be a long, long time ago
All the countryside seems empty now and the farms are tumblin’ down
There's an ageless dream in the rich, black dirt but the kids all moved to town

(Chorus)
Now I'm going back to Avery Ridge, I guess I know the way
It helps to know there's still a path that leads to yesterday
And even though it's fifteen years since I've been on my own
That old house on the dusty road has always been my home

(Verse 3)
I saw lightning flash in the summer night but the thunder never came
It's a quiet sound that fills the air and my old world feels the same
There's a whippoorwill singing on the breeze and I think I understand
That there's no such thing as being poor when you grow up on the land

(Chorus)
Now I'm going back to Avery Ridge, I guess I know the way
It helps to know there's still a path that leads to yesterday
And even though it's fifteen years since I've been on my own
That old house on the dusty road has always been my home
That old house on the dusty road
Will always been my home
